Game 86 Overflow Thread - Comeback Time!

But we will come back, of course, because we are the Greatest Team That Ever Lived. I fully expect an Avilance pinch hit Grand Slam off Sherrill.

Which means even if he jacks one

he’ll still only be .200/,200/.800!

Seriously though, I really like offense.

Like, a lot.

As long as our bullpen can get 12 outs, this series won’t be a complete failure.

By the way, is that his official nickname according to d_f and RR? Or is the nickname still up for grabs.

If Big Baby

Manages to get a single and a triple this game, it would be a “scooter”; he’s not fast enough for a cycle.

Would literally have run circles around him.

by philofthenorth on Jul 3, 2008 9:18 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It pisses me off because

while TPJ comes nowhere near being good enough at the plate to justify his glove, Gator could actually make the adjustments to be worth playing in CF.

True or False....

Ron Mahay has been the most valuable player so far this season.

He At Least

Is in the discussion, along with Guillen and DDJ.

by philofthenorth on Jul 3, 2008 9:33 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

False, but he's probably in 5th place on my list

1. Soria
2. Guillen
3. DeJesus
4. Greinke
5. Mahay

Great win!

If Mahay and Soria aren’t in the pen, we lose this game. No question. ...We better hurry up and make him a starter!

It’s great to see Butler, Grudz, and Pena, Jr. perform. – TL

Yeah, I'm sure RamRam would have given up three runs in the ninth.

by Bart41 on Jul 3, 2008 10:10 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Pick your poison

We can give up the runs at the beginning or the end. If we don’t give them up at the end, we have chance to come back. It’s often the case that the end of the game is more important than the beginning. That’s why we call it a FINAL SCORE. If the game ended at the 7th inning, the now natural endurance rate of most starters, then there’d be no need for high-quality end-of-the-game stuff.

Think before you write. – TL
